My lotus container doesn't have an airstone/circulation and it's not
stagnant. Actually this is my dog's favorite drinking spot. I do keep
mosquito fish in there as I have a bizillon of them. I forgot what zone
you
are in, but you could pop in a goldfish?

You can bury this container anywhere you like in your garden. I have it
just outside my door and really enjoy having it that close. As for water
level, I keep mine at 2-3" in the spring to allow the water to warm up.
Then add more according to the weather, probably at 5-6" right now.

This is a nice site for growing tips: http://www.yileen.com.cn/english

Lowes sells a small pond, it's about 27 inches across, round, black, 12
inches or 24 inches deep, 2 different kinds. I think it was Nedra,
don't
hold me to that, who said to bury it just outside the pond, I like the
sound
of that. Question is, after the dirt and plant and gravel and stuff, do
you
just fill it with water from the pond or do you run some sort of
circulation
of pond water to it and back into the pond or is this seperate unit all
together, and if so won't it draw mosquito's and grow stagnant. Maybe
and
airstone or something?....Confused as usual....I tell you a little
secret....2 lotus for $10 sounds like a good deal until you have to
figure
out what to do with them when you really didn't need them to begin
with...lessons learned the hard way...Claude
